Terrian - Stayed On Him Lyrics
Lyrics
There’s a world full of mercy and peace
Mercy and peace, waiting for me
There’s a land for the lost and the least
Where they dine with King, waiting for me
Yeah His holiness fills up the temple
Still He took my sin and my shame
I didn’t deserve to be rescued
But still He has called me by name
I’ll stand firm with confidence
Til He comes again, til He comes again
I’ll keep my mind stayed on Him
Til the very end, til the very end
I will keep my mind, stayed on Him
There’s a savior with wounds you can see
In His hands and His feet, waiting for me
There’s a place where His glory is seen
It’s beyond my wildest dreams, waiting for me
(I know)
You’re the God who reigns
(I know)
You’re the God who saves
(I know)
That You walk on waves
(I know)
That You’ll never change

Meaning & Inspiration
Terrian's "Stayed On Him," released as part of her 2021 EP *Genesis of Terrian*, is a profound declaration of unwavering faith, a testament to the enduring power of keeping one's focus firmly fixed on the Lord. The song beautifully articulates a personal journey of reliance and trust, emphasizing a deliberate choice to anchor one's hope and direction in God's steadfast presence. It speaks to the human experience of facing life's inevitable storms and uncertainties, not with fear or despair, but with a deep-seated conviction that the Lord is the ultimate source of strength and guidance.
The central message of "Stayed On Him" resonates deeply with biblical principles of perseverance and divine faithfulness. The act of "staying on Him" is a powerful metaphor for commitment and unwavering devotion, mirroring passages like Hebrews 12:2, which encourages believers to "fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." This focus is not passive; it is an active engagement of the spirit, a conscious decision to draw life and stability from a spiritual anchor. The song implicitly understands that life will test this resolve, presenting distractions and challenges that seek to pull our gaze away. Yet, it affirms the resolve to remain steadfast, a sentiment echoed in Isaiah 26:3, which promises, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."
Furthermore, the song's narrative seems to explore the transformative power of this focused trust. When we "stay on Him," we invite His peace and His wisdom to govern our decisions and shape our perspectives. This is not merely about enduring hardship, but about thriving amidst it, drawing sustenance from a wellspring of divine grace. The lyrics, though not overtly quoting, embody the spirit of Psalm 37:5, which declares, "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this." This commitment fosters a sense of security and purpose, knowing that our steps are ordered by a God who loves us and has a plan for us, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" "Stayed On Him" is therefore an anthem for anyone seeking to cultivate a deeper, more resilient faith, a reminder that in a world of shifting sands, our eternal hope is found in the unchangeable character of God. It's an invitation to experience the profound peace and unwavering strength that comes from keeping our eyes fixed on the One who never wavers.
